I cracked part of my gas tank. if there any gas proof apoxyies or sealers that actually work? all i have heard is that they all melt.

I think you meant epoxy. I can think of a few that would work but not sure of the exact name. I will look at work tomorrow. My guess is they would be fairly expensive as they are aviation quality...I know that you have to get some special stuff to even soften it up, nothing will even touch it...MEK...Brakekleen etc...If gasoline works that would be awesome.

Anyway. Try find some 2 ton epoxy, it is clear and we use it to cover up placards that are in real harsh environment (extreme wind, oil soaked etc...) and it is a huge PITA to get off.

I will look up the other sealants that we use here at work.

"Seal All" should do the job for ya. I used it on the high pressure side of a fuel injection system with great success. You can find it at almost any hardware. You can also try problem plastic repair by Duramix. I've seen this used with gas as well. Rough up the plastic with 24 grit or something similar, thoroughly clean the area with a solvent like acetone, thinner etc. Then apply the epoxy/Seal all.
I would try the Seal All first. Just test the area to insure that it will adhere to your plastic.

JBWELD works the best, You might have to renew it about once a year.
